Question

I’m building a UITableView programmatically without NIB files here. I’m doing something silly however, as my navigationBar shows up fine, as does my UITableView. However, the UITableView is not properly fitting onto the screen. You’ll see roughly 20 pixels separating the UINavigationBar and the UITableView. I set my window’s backgroundColor to black, as you can see in this screen shot:

Here’s the code to reproduce the problem:

- (void)loadView
{
    [super loadView];
    // TableViews that wish to utilize tableView footers/headers should override this method.

    UITableView *aTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
    aTableView.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
    aTableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;

    aTableView.delegate = self;
    aTableView.dataSource = dataSource;

    self.tableView = aTableView;
    [self.view addSubview:self.tableView];
    [aTableView release];

    // style navigation bar.
    //self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
}     

Answer 1

use bounds instead of applicationFrame
